About RBIH Rehab

Dedicated to healing lives through compassionate, evidence-based care

Our Story

The founder of RBIH Rehab celebrated his tenth year of sobriety in 2015 - the same year he began the eighteen-month process of building the program he had spent the previous decade looking for. He had walked into detox at thirty-one, after a divorce, a job loss, and a phone call from his mother that finally landed differently than the dozen before it. The treatment that worked for him was hard to access, hard to afford, and entirely separated from his family - who had been carrying the weight of his using for years and were given almost no role in his recovery.

RBIH opened in March 2016 on Las Tunas Drive in Temple City. Ten years and 4,800 patients later, the founding orientation has not changed: treat the patient as the adult they are about to become, treat the family as part of the clinical work, and refuse to make recovery harder to access than the substance use was.

RBIH stands for "Recovery, Belonging, Integrity, Healing" - the four words the founder painted on the wall of the original intake room and has not let anyone repaint over.

Our Mission

Our mission is to deliver clinically rigorous addiction treatment built around evidence and innovation - the published outcome literature, current addiction neuroscience, and the lived experience of the patients and clinicians who do the work. Evidence-innovation means three things at RBIH: protocols traceable to peer-reviewed research, ongoing program revision based on quarterly outcome reviews, and a clinical culture that asks whether what we are doing today is still the best we can do.

We share our 12-month sustained-sobriety rate with patients and families on the first call.

Treatment Philosophy

Three pillars structure the work at RBIH.

Peer Accountability: Every resident is paired with a peer mentor in the first 72 hours. The pairing is a structured clinical dyad - daily check-ins, shared meals, weekly review with a clinician.

Neuroscience-Based Care: Our addiction-medicine protocols are built from current neuroscience. Medication-assisted treatment literacy, sleep architecture work, craving-pathway interventions, and trauma-informed somatic regulation all sit on the same evidence base.

Trauma-Informed Approach: We assume every patient carries trauma history until clinical work has demonstrated otherwise. Room layouts, intake questions, group agreements, and discharge conversations are designed to reduce re-traumatization.
